Hello Folks!

It feels so good to post some more stuff on my Blog! I’ve been very busy with many other things happening in my life that had very little time left to blog. I still take pictures and take care of the feeders etc. but I also have been oil painting, yes, I’m an artist and divide my time in many part wearing many hats. But enough about me.

The weather has been on the cold side and windy for the past few weeks, one day we had a tornado touched ground just 4 or 5 miles from us. Now we have low temperatures and is frosted every morning.

The birds feed when the sun is high and warms a bit. I’ve seen these birds lately:

• Brown-headed Cowbirds
• Northern Cardinals
• Carolina Chickadees
• Northern Mockingbirds
• Field Sparrows
• Song Sparrows
• Mourning Doves

Here are some pictures for you:
